We could see a good part of it come from Canola in the form of Biodiesel fuel. Trees grow much slower.
Coal has a problem in generating CO2 - a greenhouse gas. If you believe the scientists, we're in for a massive problem in climate change in the near future if we don't change our habits.
I wouldn't discount H2 quite yet. The technology is developing... Ballard, Stuart Energy and the like seem to believe in H2 as a fuel. Stuart Energy markets a home H2 generator. Nuclear energy is clean (except the disposal problem) and could provide electricity for the H2 generators. One doesn't have to store massive amounts of H2 in this case. As for safety, H2 can also be absorbed onto substrates and released when needed (H2 partial pressure is low). Further down the road there's always the hope of fusion power.
